Speed Scrap with Ginger! 11-4 at 1:00Pacific/ 4:00 EST

Speed Scrap with Ginger! 11-4 at 1:00 Pacific Time/ 4:00 EST

Hi all
Come kick off DSD weekend with me!
I will be hosting a Speed Scrap on Friday at 1:00pm Pacific time -
Follow along in the forum- and Pop in the Chat Room to say hi too!!
Oh yes, I'm going to try to multi task.. you all better watch out! LOL
I will update this top post as I go with new steps.
Post your completed LO in the Speed Scraps Gallery (with in an hour of the closing of the SS) and You will get goodie bag including 2 QP's and one cluster frame made using the GingerBread Ladies Collab- Apple Hill.
Psssstttt.. this awesome collab is on sale - 40% off- through the weekend for only $4.20!!

Step 3: Elements. Layouts are made by elements. {Hush! Yes, I know it can be paper layers, we'll get to that!}
So, choose at least four different TYPES of elements.
Choose 3 of the SAME element, as well (of any of the four you chose).
So, you chose a ribbon, a button, a flair, and a flower. Choose ONE of those, and have THREE of them.
Cluster however you desire.

Step 4: Remember those paper layers that was mentioned? Time to play with those!
Choose at least FOUR papers.
Cut one into a circle.
Cut one into a square.
Cut one into a TRIANGLE.
Cut one into a non-regular shape. Like a foot. Or a leaf. Or something like that.
Add them to your layout, over and under your photo(s).

Step 5: Oh, you thought you were done? Hee hee, not quite just yet.
Journaling makes a BIG difference in a layout, but we're not there.
Hee hee. Add a title. At least two words. At least one ALPHA and one FONT.
Split the title along the top and the bottom.

Step 6: That journaling thing. It's back to annoy you now.
A picture can tell a story, but sometimes, you choose a picture that you know the story to, but no one else does.
Tell that story. We want to hear it (well, read it :P).

Step 7: Your layout might look a little flat. Wanna know why? You might have forgotten those things called shadows.
They're very important in digital scrapbooking. It's what gives the layout dimension and depth!
Make sure you use them!
